Description: Summary of approaches to Abstract Art in contemporary English artists, including Moore. There is a full-page photograph of Four Piece Composition: Reclining Figure, 1934 Cumberland alabaster, while the text on Moore is: Product of the multiform inventive artist abstraction-surrealism nearly in control; of a constructor of images between the conscious and the unconscious and between what we perceive and what we project emotionally into the objects of our world; of the one English sculptor of large imaginative power of which he is almost master; the biomorphist producing viable work with all the technique he requires." With Wyndham Lewis Moore is also described as "the only English artists of maturity in control of enough imaginative power to settle themselves actively between the new preraphaelites of Minotaure and the unconscious nihilists of extreme geometric abstraction".

Publisher: Axis
Place Published: London
Year: 1935
Date & Collation: 3 1935(July) 9-13(8 illus).
Description: Moore's creative stance is briefly compared to work by Auden, Wyndham Lewis, Brancusi, D.H. Lawrence, and others. Moore in his shapes gives body to his own phantasies. He is nearer surrealism. He goes to work...intuitively feeling all kinds of life and matter and their relationship but once he has made a discovery he can make it an element use it again modify it or discard it. He can control it when it exists without I believe always realising how or why it first came to exist." Five of the photographs are views of Two Forms 1934 pynkado wood. For 1968 reprint of Axis see 0005084."
